Poetry or Other Genre by Poets: 405
Art: 13
Fiction: 39
Others: 21
The 405 poetry reads is a drop from 2015 when I read 495 publications by poets or on poetry. Still, that's a higher level than in 2014 when I read 372 poetry publications, and in 2013 when I read 319 suchpublications. Here's my 2016 Reading List for your reading pleasure, with a bonus shot of my reading eyes lit aglow by all that pow-et-tree:
